Last time, I used: “Anybody need anything while I’m out?” and that went over well. May not make it through this surgery on Friday, so I turn to Lemmy for top-notch suggestions for my potential last words!

    I may be wrong, but I think the mask is just oxygen. What puts you under is the stuff they inject you.

      That’s how it was for my recent surgery. They specifically told me it was just oxygen, and the anesthesia was given through IV and it burned like a motherfucker.

      When I got my wisdom teeth out though - they had laughing gas through the mask before even placing the IV. Didn’t feel shiiit for that one, but also wasn’t placed under as deeply so maybe it was a different knockout med
